Shawn Johnson flips for nutrition

It was a one-two win for American gymnasts last night at the women's all around. I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to watch these powerhouse athletes perform. Graceful and athletic Nastia Liukin took home a well-deserved gold. But I have to admit that my personal favorite was young Shawn Johnson. She's so powerful and seems to pack every move with just a little bit of attitude. It's no wonder the silver medalist has a lot of power behind her moves; she trains 4 hours each weekday and 5-6 hours on Saturdays.

Unlike Michael Phelps' astounding calorie intake, Shawn Johnson strives for a bit more balance in her meals. She doesn't follow any specific diet, but just aims for good nutrition and a healthy balance. She also tries to stay away from sweets. Johnson says, "A normal breakfast for me is yogurt and scrambled eggs, lunch might be a wrap or salad with some fruit, and for dinner I eat a lot of fish or chicken and fresh vegetables."
